The open-source VC4 driver stack with DRM/KMS driver and Gallium3D driver for the Raspberry Pi hardware continues stepping closer to feature parity with the original binary blob graphics driver, particularly when it comes to mode-setting related functionality...

It would be, and AFAIK the devs behind it are not against doing the OSS thing. If i recall correctly, it was the (C level?) person in charge of the software development that didn't want to do it.

It doesn't really matter who is for or against it, what counts is that there is no support. From this interview[1] it seems arm just doesn't care and throws around some good enough excuses. Intel does it, AMD does it for state of the art gpus, broadcom is doing it for VC4 and I haven't yet seen any news about the deluge of patent litigation that is talked about in the interview.
